Bending

Select the Bending tab in the Columns dialog (Theoretical (required) reinforcement of bars - RC columns, beams). The following dialog displays.

The following quantities can be selected for a table of results of theoretical (required) reinforcement for structure bars.

  • Reinforcement ratio.
    • Required reinforcement ratio determined in the calculations of the required (theoretical) reinforcement area.
    • Provided reinforcement ratio resulting from the assumed provided (real) reinforcement area.
  • Reinforcement area.
    • Required - Top and bottom reinforcement area (for My and Mz moment).
    • Provided - Top and bottom reinforcement area (for My and Mz moment).
    • Maximum and minimum - Maximum and minimum reinforcement area defined in a given code. This is calculated by multiplying the minimum and maximum value of reinforcement ratio defined in the code by the area of the cross-section.
  • Reinforcement distribution.
    • Top and bottom reinforcement distribution (7f10 means seven bars with diameter 10 mm) - for My and Mz moment
  • Internal forces.
    • Design case - The case that is decisive for the bar design process (reinforcement area)
    • Combination definition - Definition of the combination that is decisive for the bar design process (reinforcement area)
    • Design moment My and Mz - Values of bending moments
    • Axial design force N - Longitudinal force values.

The bottom of the dialog contains the following options.

  • Remarks - An additional column for commentaries concerning calculations of reinforcement area in particular bar cross-sections.
  • All - All options in the tab will be presented.
  • None - none of the options in the tab will be presented.
